Comparison of Febuxostat and Allopurinol in the Treatment of Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3∼5 with Hyperuricemia by Zhimin Liao, Lei Xu, Bo Wan, Liping Wang, Chengzhi Zhao, Gang Wu, Rui Xie

“…The clinical efficacy, incidence of adverse reactions, and renal function indexes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), serum sodium (Na), serum potassium (K), and serum uric acid (UA) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results. The total effective rate of the experimental group and the control group was 82.00% and 78.00%, respectively, with little difference (P>0.05); compared with before treatment, BUN, Scr, and UA of the two groups were decreased (P<0.05); and the degree of decline in the experimental group was significantly greater than that in the control group (P<0.05); the incidence of adverse reactions in the control group was 22.00%, which was significantly higher than that in the experimental group (10.00%) (P<0.05). …”
